Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ الْقَسَامَةِ فِي الدَّمِ قَالَ كَانَتْ الْقَسَامَةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقَرَّهَا عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَقَضَى بِهَا بَيْنَ نَاسٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي قَتِيلٍ ادَّعَوْهُ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us: Ibn Jurayj told us: Ibn Shihab told me concerning al-Qasamah (the oath procedure) regarding bloodshed, he said: Al-Qasamah existed in the pre-Islamic period -- from the hadith of Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman and Sulayman ibn Yasar, from men among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Ansar -- that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) confirmed it as it had been in the pre-Islamic period, and he judged by it between some people of the Ansar concerning a slain man whom they claimed had been killed by the Jews.
